Identifying as Retail via API

By default, all orders submitted through the API are treated as Pro orders. To have your API orders treated as Retail orders, include the INTERACTIVE flag when submitting orders.

When the INTERACTIVE flag is set on an order:

  • The order is subject to Retail speed bumps and rate limits
  • The order qualifies for free trading fees (0% maker and taker)
  • The order is eligible for Retail Price Improvement (RPI) liquidity
  • The order receives queue priority at each price level

Orders with the INTERACTIVE flag are subject to Retail rate limits. If rate limits are exceeded, the account will automatically switch to the Pro trader profile and lose access to RPI liquidity.

Example

Include "INTERACTIVE" in the flags array when creating an order:

1{
2  "market": "BTC-USD-PERP",
3  "side": "BUY",
4  "type": "LIMIT",
5  "size": "0.01",
6  "limit_price": "50000",
7  "flags": ["INTERACTIVE"]
8}
